Emo peom

My sadness washes away my hunger

I stopped watching those who watch

Whatever I am who slowly dies

To look back and mourn the what ifs

And my hopes, when apathy has won

I am youth, and if I allow myself to be human

I hope my youth is the best lesson

Because that's all I am

A personification of consequence

And not love but obligation and appearance

Semblance for what living should be, what family I decorate with my presence.

It's about control, my sadness washes away my hunger for humanity for homesickness

And I can only give you the dregs of my love

Because I'm slowly dying. Literally.

I can only sympathize with the sentiment

That you hold me in memory even when I still sit by you.

I slowly die and you watch and I don't hate you, I just hope I'm not a lesson, a whisper on the shell of your ear.

Because all I ever wanted to be was your child not some emo teenager.
